You all remember sweet little Rosie Marshall, the girl who crashed and burned on Sparrow Hill Road, don't you? Well, Rose's story is done now, but that doesn't mean that there aren't pieces missing.

I'm in the process of taking the twelve stories written during 2010 and turning them into a single episodic narrative. This is basically the "novel length" Sparrow Hill, and like any good expansion, it needs a little bonus content. So.

I need one more story to tell; one more episode or incident from Rose's world. It can be a flashback, but I should be able to fit it somewhere in the middle of the overall narrative—so before "Faithfully" and "Thunder Road," but somewhere after "Last Dance With Mary Jane."

What do you want to see? I can't promise to take your request in specific, but if you tell me where you think the holes are, there's a chance I can fill the one that's most important to you.

I would have asked to see more of Rose and Gary's time together, except that would fall between the last two episodes. Their story reminded me a little of the Nine-Rose-Jack arc, where you can tell that they had great times together but you see hardly any of it on screen.

Why did Persephone give Rose her blessing? The Queen of the Routewitches doesn't seem to be the queen of the dead, and the connection isn't obvious.

Or another story of Rose guiding someone to the Last Dance. One that's at least a little cheerful.

"Cheerful" doesn't really make for very good stories when somebody's gotta die to get you there...

Well, no, but there are some stories that are at least not depressing. Tommy ended up as the best sort of ghost he could be, and he came back to help Rose out.
